Take a look at some of the student created earth day video projects posted online. You're going to create a response to the Whole Foods video that is posted at the previous link. Or, you may also create a response video or one of your own unique videos that we can share this month about Earth Day. We are working with teachers and students all across the world on a 24 hour, live webcast project that will take place on Earth Day 2008 (April 22nd, 2008). It would be great to include some of your videos in this project.
Everyone can make little changes that can positively affect the world that we live in. Create a video that helps raise awareness and gives some possible solutions to some of these challenges.
